Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - John Calvin Condensed Highlights the main doctrines and key Biblical concepts that encompass the principles necessary for Christian vitality. In this condensed version of his Institues, John Calvin, the brilliant reformer, effectively expounds on all the important aspects of Bible doctrine. Calvin was not one to shy away from the controversial elements of Biblical Christianity. Throughout the Institues, God's sovereignty is a focal point of Calvin's commentaries. The glory of God, His mercy and grace towards helpless ...

Just prior the time it was to be published, however, Francis I, the king of France, unleashed a "fierce campaign of repression" (14) against French Protestantism.

Lane eliminates much of Calvin's polemic against Catholicism and the Pope, yet keeps his flow of thought and argumentation smoothly rolling along. Lane doesn't eliminate or bypass the doctrines that people have difficulty with. He gives them fair treatment. Reading this book makes one want to go back to Calvin's unabridged version and examine things in more detail and depth. This is an extremely ... Read More Rating: - Calvin Compressed "The Institutes of the Christian Religion" began as a rather short monograph, but grew to a multivolume treatise as Calvin revised and rewrote it over his career. This abridgement cuts away the excess and brings the reader the essentials of Calvin's theology. Surprisingly, that theology, although not jovial, is not as somber as the popular portrayal. Calvin states his ideas and backs them up with scriptural citations, well constructed argument, and references to earlier Christian writers, most ...
